Record Attendance at Big Sky Film Festival, Missoula Comedian Makes it Big

The eleventh annual Big Sky Documentary Film Festival is in full swing in Missoula. Festival director Nick Davis says his crew waded through over 1,000 film submissions before picking the final set.

"This year, over a span of nine days, we are screening upwards of 140 documentary films," Davis said. "These are feature films, shorts and mini-docs, which means that these films can run anywhere from one to two minutes in length to over an hour and a half."

There are many different moods and subjects on screen, but Davis says the focus of this year’s festival is humor.
